The major freeways around Valencia is interstate 5 Golden State Freeway and Cal-14 Antelope Valley Freeway. Even though Valencia is in Los Angeles County, in and around Valencia does not have as bad of traffic as in Los Angeles. It is fairly recent that Santa Clarita became responsible for local transit, this was taken over by the city from Los Angeles in 1991. The Department of Public Works for Santa Clarita is in charge of monitoring traffic conditions to improve them and
they also take care of the roads. The City of Santa Clarita Transit is the bus system in Valencia. There are buses that run between the smaller towns surrounding Valencia and then local buses that go from set focal points within Valencia. There is also what is called a commuter service bus that goes to certain popular business areas like dowtown LA, Century City, Van Nuys, Burbank, etc. It cost a $1 to ride the bus and you can buy a monthly pass for $25. For the commuter bus the fare is anywhere from $3.50 to $4.00 depending on what line you are on and you can buy a monthly pass for anywhere between $142.00 to $160.00. The bus routes also connect into the metrolink system. There is a metrolink station off of Soledad Canyon. The metrolink is the train that runs throughout California. This particular metrolink is serviced bu the Antelope Valley train and runs from Los Angeles Union Station to Lancaster. There is also what is called the Santa Clara River Trail, this is an eight mile paved bike/walking trail that runs through Valencia and connects it with the surrounding towns. This trail is in close connection to the letrlink stations and transit stops which makes it easy for riders to bike to their pick up destination. There are even bicycle lockers at all the metrolink stations. I would say that Valencia is a pretty well planned out community when 
it comes to getting around. Not only do they have access to local transportation but there is access to the metrolink. On top of that there is an extensive group of paths used for travel. There is over sixty miles of trails and pasoes used for reacreational and commuting purposes. They can be used to get to the many transit stops or just to get around Valencia to many of the fun destinations like Magic Mountain or Valencia Towne Center. These trails are also used for biking, skating, joggin or walking. These trails are maintained by Santa Clarita's Parks, Recreation, and Community Services.
